Why Many Projects Stall and What Moves Them ForwardEndurance athletes talk about the “40% wall.” It is the point where the body feels spent, even though much more capacity remains. David Goggins uses it to describe the moment when discomfort is mistaken for a hard limit.Industrial AI projects hit a similar wall.Manufacturers deploy analytics, connect […]

CES has always been a mirror of what’s next. Not just shiny tech, but signals — early indications of how industries will actually change. And at CES 2026, Siemens isn’t just showing technology. They’re showing outcomes. That’s why the Siemens booths are high on my must-see list this year.Across three distinct experiences — Siemens Intelligence Experience […]

In April 2020, half of the world’s population was in lockdown — yet critical infrastructure still had to run. Chemical plants, glass facilities, refineries, and energy systems couldn’t pause. Equipment still failed. Processes, drifted, and operators needed expert support. But the experts were home.This single moment, according to Tony White — who leads the U.S. […]

At the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Artificial Intelligence is not an experiment—it’s part of everyday production. The facility shows how industrial AI can improve how machines sense, analyze, and act, helping teams turn factory data into measurable results. From assembly to inspection, every dataset contributes to higher process quality, shorter cycles, and smarter energy use.From Connected Data […]

The semiconductor industry is moving faster than its tools can keep up. The pace of change, the explosion of data, and the pressure to build fabs in record time are colliding — and the result is a growing gap between design intent and operational reality.Digital twins are emerging as the bridge between those two worlds. […]

In semiconductor fabs, progress has long been measured in nanometers. But the next great leap isn’t happening on the wafer — it’s happening in how factories see, think, and respond. Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping inspection, maintenance, and operational decision-making, marking a shift from human reaction to digital foresight.From Human Vision to Machine IntelligenceFor decades, […]

At Hannover Messe 2025, I sat down with Mathias Oppelt, Vice President and Head of Customer-Driven Innovation at Siemens Digital Industries, to explore what manufacturers really want from digital transformation—and what’s still holding many of them back. The conversation moved well beyond buzzwords like AI and digital twins, touching on deep structural shifts, mindset changes, and the […]
